Few DIY Safety Pin Jewellery Tutorials:

1. Safety Pin Rings Or Bracelet:

Things you need:

Bag of small or medium safety pins (75)

Seed beads

Strong, clear craft, and jewellery adhesive

Paper plate

Toothpicks

Elastic jewelry cord

Scissors

Large safety pin

Directions:

Open one safety pin and insert the stack of beads onto the pin, leaving enough space to close the pin comfortably. Use beads of similar color or slightly darker and lighter for a monochromatic look. Or, make use of random colors if you prefer colorful accessories.

Apply a small amount of craft and jewellery adhesive onto a paper plate. Dip the end of the toothpick into the adhesive.

Then spread the substance over the pin tip. Close the pin.

Open and slide additional safety pins with beads, gluing each one.

To create a colorful line on bracelet or ring, use one color bead on each safety pin.

Fill up enough safety to go around your wrist or finger midway. The blank safety pins can make up the other half.

Cut two 12-inch elastic jewellery cord pieces for making the bracelet or two 4-inch pieces for the ring.

Thread one end of one elastic piece through the top hole of a beaded safety pin. Then thread it through the bottom hold of a plain and un-beaded pin.

Continue threading one beaded pin aligned upright, one un-beaded pin upside down, until the pin strands are long enough to wrap around your wrist or finger. Or, you can also wrap the item around your wrist or finger for the exact measurement, making sure the pieces do not slide off the elastic rope.

Thread the remaining pieces of elastic through the opposite ends of the safety pin and string the ends.

Take the loose ends of both elastic pieces and wrap the safety pin string into a circle.

Check again to ensure the pieces fit your wrist or finger. Then add or remove pins as needed.

Tie the ends of the elastic cord to one another. Trim off the excess. Add a dab of craft adhesive over the knots.

Allow it to dry completely.

Things you need:

50-75 safety pins

10/0 seed beads

0.7 mm bead elastic

Scissors

Pliers

Super glue (optional)

Directions:

Open up a safety pin and slide seed beads onto the pin.

Leave enough space on the tip of the pin to close it.

Make use of any colored seed bead, but avoid the ones that are too small or won’t fit onto the pin. (10/0 size would be ideal).

This safety pin jewelry designs will create a thick cuff-like bracelet that is covered with seed beads.

For a wider bracelet, make use of 1-inch safety pins. For a narrower bracelet, use ¾ inch safety pins.

For extra security, add a drop of glue to the clasp before you close the pin.

Spread the rest of the safety pin in the same steps. (50 pins would be required for a child’s bracelet and 75 pins would be required for an adult’s bracelet).

You can also make use of similar colored beads or experiment with different colors.

Cut two pieces of thin, round beaded elastic. Each of the elastic should be twice the size of your wrist. Select thicker elastic of about 0.7 mm to ensure that the bracelet will be strong enough.

Tie a knot in the bottom of the elastic. This can keep the pins from falling off while you string them.

Thread the pins onto the first elastic, changing the direction you thread them on.

Slide the elastic through the top hole of your first pin.

Next, slide the elastic through the bottom of the next pin.

Repeat the steps. Alternate the pins as you use them, making sure all the beads on the pins are facing forward.

Thread the second elastic through the rest of the holes on the pins. Then wrap the bracelet around your wrist.

Remove or add pins as needed.

Tie the top two elastic strings together in a tight, square knot.

Repeat the process for the bottom elastic. Trim the elastic down to one to two inches. Tuck each end back through the holes on the pins.

Secure the knot using a drop of glue and allow the glue to dry.

Trim off the ends of the elastic and close to the knot. Then half-seal them using a lighter.

Size 10/0 seed beads

Super glue (optional)

Cotton or T-shirt fabric

Scissors

Make use of a larger seed bead or else it won’t fit into the pin. A size 10/0 would be ideal.

Then use a pair of needle-nose pliers to press the clasp of the safety pin close so that it doesn’t pop open. For added security, put a drop of super glue into the clasp.

Slide a safety pin into the wire through the top hold. Slide the next one through the bottom hole.

For a more interesting bracelet, add a spacer bead between each safety pin. Repeat the same steps.

Start by weaving at one end of the bracelet, finishing at the other. Make sure to weave between the beads, using two beads on top and two at the bottom.

Weave back and forth across the bracelet until the space between the beads is filled. Once the front part is done, weave the fabric through the back of the bracelet.

You can add a necklace closure using jump rings or sew on a hook and eye closure using a needle and thread.

You can also make use of a brooch, cameo, or embellishment. If you are using a brooch, you can pin it to the front of the bracelet. If you are making use of a different type of embellishment, secure it using fabric glue or an industrial strength glue.
